The Challenge
The opportunity is to eliminate orders accepted for stock that is not really there, cancellations caused by phantom availability, and counts done once a year and trusted all year. The proposed workflow is source-linked, but the current operating baseline and financial value remain illustrative until validated with the client.
How It Works
- Reconciles system stock against picks, scans, returns and cycle counts by location.
- Scores confidence per item and location and flags where the number is unreliable.
- Suppresses sale of low confidence lines and schedules counts where they will pay back.
